Experimental and numerical study on seismic behaviors of SRC column-RC slab joints in NPP by Dayang Wang, Qiang Liu, Yuanqi Song, Yong Zhu, Yongshan Zhang

“…The verified FEA model was used for parametrical study on effects of thickness, outer dimensions of SSP, a longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the RC slab and an axial pressure ratio. The test results show that the damage mode of specimens is shear failure at the RC slab and the damage of the SRC column is minor, which is in line with the design concept of the strong column and weak slab. …”

Strength Characteristics of Nonpenetrating Joint Rock Mass under Different Shear Conditions by Qingzhi Chen, Yuanming Liu, Shaoyun Pu

“…The main conclusions are as follows: (1) the strength of rock mass would increase with the increase of confining pressure for those rock specimens with same degrees of shear after the direct shear test; (2) for rock specimens with different degrees of shear after the direct shear test, if the shearing degree of the rock specimen was greater, the strength of the rock specimen would be lower in the triaxial test; (3) for rock specimens with the same damage degree after direct shear test, the greater the normal stress in direct shear test is, the smaller the peak axial pressure would be in the triaxial test; (4) if the specimen was sheared under higher normal stress in direct shear test, the cohesion of it would be lower and the internal friction angle would be larger. …”

Aerodynamic Optimization Design of Duct Body Structure for Coaxial Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by Du Siliang, Zha Yi, Zhao Qijun

“…The specific method is to remove the partial duct structure between the upper and lower coaxial rotors; change the flow characteristics of the flow field around the duct body; then establish a grid model of the duct body suitable for numerical analysis; analyze its aerodynamic characteristics in hovering, axial flow, and oblique flow states; and finally compare the aerodynamic characteristics with the unmodified duct body structure. …”

Numerical Analysis of the Seismic Response of Tunnel Composite Lining Structures across an Active Fault by Zude Ding, Mingrong Liao, Nanrun Xiao, Xiaoqin Li

“…The intensity and direction of seismic waves influenced the damage of the composite structures to some extent, and the applicability of the new composite structure to lateral seismic waves is significantly better than that to axial waves. More importantly, under the action of different seismic intensities and directions, the damage degree and distribution area of the new composite structure were significantly smaller than those of the conventional composite lining structure.…”
